Based on the 1/4 mi times and trap speeds posted by GM:
SKY: 15.7 at 89mph Redline: 13.9 at 100 mph
http://media.gm.com/us/gm/en/news/events/autoshows/06ny/brands/saturn/06_NY_Sat_SkyRL_Spec.htm
The calculated 2.4L Sky and RL horsepower are as follows:
Formula is HP= weight * ( speed/228.4) cubed
Older formulas u may have seen used 234 but that was before NHRA changed
their way trap speeds were measured in 1989.
For regular SKY, the hp calculates to 184 hp
For Redline, the HP calculates to 266 hp
Usually MPH * ET=about 1380 to 1400 so the GM 1/4 mile time is
right inline with its trap speed. Thus HP is pretty close.
